概述:

我们试图避免的就是中立。。。

PS:两处连字符

Let me sound one note of warning. Neither families nor doctors like to make life-death decisions. But there is no question that if either party insists on bringing in a so-called "neutral" third party usually some representative of the state or legal profession, not only will the process take longer, in many instances it will be more arbitrary and less sympathetic. What we are trying to avoid is neutrality; the only people with any qualification to decide are those who know the patient intimately and can put his or her interests first. If there's one place from which the interference of lawyers and government officials should be barred, it's from the rooms of critically ill patients.
在此我警告一句。不论是家属还是医生,他们都不愿做出生死攸关的决定。可是毫无疑问,如果任何一方坚持要有所谓“中立”的第三方(通常是政府代表或者职业律师)介入,那不但会拖长决策过程,而且在很多时候,决策还会更加武断、更不人道。 我们试图避免的就是中立。唯一有权做出决定的,是那些非常熟悉病人、能将病人的利益放在首位的人。如果有一个地方应该禁止律师和政府官员的干涉,那就是危在旦夕的病人的房间。
